Abstract |
Melorheostosis is an unusual mesenchymal dysplasia, which commonly presents on radiographs as longitudinal bars of hyperostosis in osseous structures. We present a case of melorheostosis in the lower extremity of a 20-year-old woman for which detailed radiologic- pathologic correlation was achieved due to amputation of the involved limb.
